He served as the head coach at [[Eastern Kentucky University]] from 1964 to 2002, compiling a record of 314–124–8.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCAA Football Coaching Records |url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/2017/coaching.pdf}}</ref> Kidd's [[Eastern Kentucky Colonels football|Eastern Kentucky Colonels]] won [[NCAA Division I Football Championship|NCAA Division I-AA Football Championships]] in 1979 and 1982 and were runners-up in 1980 and 1981. His 314 career victories are second-most in [[NCAA Division I|NCAA Division I-AA/FCS]] history, trailing only those of [[Grambling State Tigers football|Grambling State]]'s [[Eddie Robinson (Grambling football coach)|Eddie Robinson]].  Kidd was inducted into the [[College Football Hall of Fame]] as a coach in 2003.

==Early life and playing career==
Kidd was a star football, [[basketball]], and [[baseball]] player at Corbin High School in the [[Whitley County, Kentucky|Whitley County]] portion of [[Corbin, Kentucky]].  At Corbin, Kidd was a basketball teammate of college All-American [[Frank Selvy]]. There is a street, Roy Kidd Ave., named in his honor in Corbin. He graduated from [[Corbin, Kentucky|Corbin]] in 1950 after being chosen as a first team All-State football player for the 1949 season by ''[[The Courier-Journal]]'' of [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]]. Kidd was signed to a [[football scholarship]] by [[Eastern Kentucky University|Eastern Kentucky State College]] and played [[quarterback]] at the [[Richmond, Kentucky|Richmond]] school from 1950 to 1953. Kidd actually turned down a scholarship to play for [[Bear Bryant]] at the [[University of Kentucky]] because his favorite sport was baseball and the football coaches at Eastern Kentucky were willing to let him play both sports. Kidd received four [[varsity letter]]s in football and baseball at Eastern. He established a dozen records as quarterback of the Maroons (each of these has since been tied or broken), was an All-[[Ohio Valley Conference]] selection, and was honored as a "Little [[All-American]]" choice in 1953. Kidd was also a star [[center fielder]] for Eastern, bettering the .300 mark four consecutive seasons. Kidd served as a student assistant on the staff of [[Glenn Presnell]]'s 1954 Eastern team which went undefeated, won the OVC and lost 7–6 to [[Omaha Mavericks|Omaha]] in the [[1955 Tangerine Bowl|Tangerine Bowl]].

==Coaching career==

===Madison-Model===
In 1955, Kidd was hired as the assistant basketball and head baseball coach at [[Madison Central High School (Kentucky)|Madison Central High School]] in [[Richmond, Kentucky]]. In August 1956, A. L. Lassiter, the superintendent of Richmond city schools, offered Kidd the position of head football coach at [[Madison-Model High School]].  Kidd accepted and spent the next six years as coach of the Royal Purples. [[Model Laboratory School|Model]] discontinued its partnership with Madison after the 1960–61 school year and Kidd coached [[Madison High School (Richmond, Kentucky)|Madison]] for one season, 1961–62 school year, before moving to the college level.

Kidd took over a Madison-Model program that produced a 23–36–12 record from 1947 to 1955.  He led the Purples to a 54–11–1 record from 1956 to 1961. His 54 wins rank him as the third winningest coach in Madison football history behind Lassiter (86 wins in 20 years) and Monty Joe Lovell (77 wins in 11 years).  Kidd's .818 winning percentage is the best in Richmond Madison football history.  His first team (1956) reeled off nine wins to finish the regular season undefeated and collected the most wins of any Madison team since the sport was initiated at the Richmond high school in 1921.

Under his tutelage, Madison-Model put together a 27-game winning streak (1959–1961) and was not scored upon in 15 consecutive regular season games during that span. They captured three Central Kentucky Conference (CKC) titles, in 1956, 1960 and 1961. The Royal Purples were Recreation Bowl champions in 1957 and 1961.  Madison-Model went 11–0 in 1960, but, under a controversial point system, was not awarded a berth in the state playoffs.  Kidd was chosen Kentucky High School Coach of the Year in his last season (1961) as his Purples went 13–1. Madison finished as the Class AA state runner-up to [[Fort Thomas, Kentucky|Fort Thomas]]' [[Highlands High School (Fort Thomas, Kentucky)|Highlands High School]] that season as Kidd's squad fell to the Bluebirds 12–0. Future college and [[National Football League|NFL]] coach, [[Homer Rice]], coached Highlands.

===Eastern Kentucky===
[[Image:kidd borders.jpg|thumb|160px|Kidd with a former player]]
In 1962, he was hired as an assistant coach at [[Morehead State University|Morehead State College]]. The next year, he ventured back to Richmond to serve as an assistant coach at his alma mater and served under his mentor, [[Glenn Presnell]].  After the 1963 season, Presnell retired and Kidd was hired as Eastern's head football coach 1964.

In 1967, Kidd led the Colonels to the first of 16 [[Ohio Valley Conference]] titles during his tenure, as well as a victory in the [[Grantland Rice Bowl]] over [[Ball State Cardinals football|Ball State]]. After being classified in the new [[Division I-AA]] (now Division I FCS) in 1978, EKU and Kidd made appearances in four straight [[NCAA Division I Football Championship|national championship games]], winning in 1979 and 1982, and finishing as runner-up in 1980 and 1981. Following the national championships, Kidd's teams never suffered a losing campaign. He led the school to 18 playoff appearances, including a stretch of making the postseason in 16 out of 17 seasons. All told, Kidd led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and a national record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances. He won the OVC Coach of the Year honor ten times and was twice honored as the NCAA Division I-AA national coach of the year.

Over the course of his career, Kidd had a record of 314–124–8, a .713 winning percentage. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. At retirement, Kidd was the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA history with 314 victories. Kidd retired with the most wins for a head coach at the Division I FCS level, with 223, a record now held by [[Jimmye Laycock]].<ref>This win total includes only those wins earned while coaching a I-AA/FCS program after the creation of that subdivision in 1978.</ref> He recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 straight seasons with a winning record. Kidd  coached 55 All-Americans, 202 First Team All-OVC selections and 41 student-athletes who signed National Football League contracts.  A member of the OVC and Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame, the Colonels' stadium was named [[Roy Kidd Stadium]] in his honor.  The street that fronts the stadium has been renamed "Roy and Sue Kidd Way" in honor of Kidd and his wife, Susan Purcell Kidd.
